Catalogue entry

These cursory sketches show Huy, with the citadel atop the crest of a precipice overlooking the town, the Collegiate Church of Notre-Dame set against the cliff, and the ancient arched bridge crossing the Meuse. Two of the sketches are orientated in accordance with the foliation, with the uppermost of these extending onto the folio opposite (Tate D19626; Turner Bequest CCXVI 38). The other two views have been drawn with the sketchbook turned horizontally to landscape format.
For other views of Huy in this sketchbook see Tate D19627–D19635; Turner Bequest CCXVI 38a–43; see also the Huy and Dinant sketchbook (Tate D20087–D20093, D20109–D20110; Turner Bequest CCXVII 2a–6a, 16–7) and the Brussels up to Mannheim sketchbook of 1833 (Tate D29653, D29656–D29659, D29661–D29662, D29768, D29771; Turner Bequest 29, 30a–32, 33–33a, 90, 91a).
